Chapter 196 What a shameless Phoenix man
At nine o'clock, all the kids had been taken to the classroom by Xinle and Qiaoping, and the parents had probably already arrived at their workplace to prepare for a new day of work.
The little panda was sent to the kindergarten by Jiang Linfeng and his assistant today, and then sat quietly in the car waiting for Jiang Rang and his team to finish the work at hand.
When they finally set off, Xin Le had already started the live broadcast and explained the special circumstances of the day to the audience.
"Boss Jiang, I actually have a question. We didn't tell the staff of Sunflower Orphanage No. 2 in advance about our visit today. Aren't we worried about what they might think after seeing the live broadcast?"
The assistant is a young male orc, probably an omnivore, because he looks gentle, but this gentleness is different from that of a herbivore, so one can guess his race at a glance.
As an assistant, he was of course the driver this time. However, seeing that he could communicate calmly with his boss, he was probably a subordinate that Jiang Linfeng trusted particularly.
Hearing his assistant's words, Jiang Linfeng replied, "I just wanted to see their reactions. Teacher Xiao Chi said that most of the staff at the orphanage know about the live broadcast of the Third Kindergarten and will show it to the children, right?"
Chi Nian nodded.
Jiang Linfeng added, "If they had something to hide, they would have acted awkwardly when they learned we were planning to sign a volunteer agreement. If they had nothing to hide, they would have been very happy."
"After all, everyone in the industry knows that the Sunflower Orphanage's funding comes from the Orc government. If it receives other investment cooperation or attracts attention, it will be a good thing for the orphanage's staff."
"Visiting them on weekdays shows our sincerity. Generally, they will warmly welcome us."
"Also, coming directly to the house would only highlight my 'anxiety' and 'arrogance'. As the son-in-law of the He family, this alone means that I am more noble than most of the orcs present."
"What I want to say is that I have no desire to participate in charity activities, but in order to gain the approval of the He family, I have no choice but to do it. I am here to be on equal footing with the He family. I don't want to communicate by phone in advance because I simply look down on the orphanage staff. I made this decision for myself."
After hearing Jiang Linfeng's words, the assistant suddenly understood, and even Zhong Yousheng found it very convincing.
As expected, rich people think differently from them. From this point of view, Jiang Linfeng and Director Jiang are quite similar, and they both have the surname Jiang. What a coincidence!
The most important thing is that the other party has actually made good preparations, and the character setting is really arranged perfectly!
Chi Nian was also thinking about what Jiang Linfeng said in the back row, and then he remembered that when he was a child, every month when the orc government distributed sponsorship funds, the employees of the orphanage seemed to complain because there was really not enough to go around. If it weren't for the free food and accommodation, few orcs would be willing to work in the orphanage.
And every time a wealthy family adopts a child from an orphanage, if there is a donation, the mothers will be particularly happy. He only now realized that the mothers are happy because the donation money is their bonus for that month.
Like orphanages and kindergartens, these are areas of work that beastmen are reluctant to set foot in, because the pay is not good and the work is extremely tiring.
"I'll explain my purpose after we get off the car. All you need to do is cooperate with me." Seeing that no one had any questions, Jiang Linfeng continued, "Rong Wan and I already conducted a drill last night. In short, there's nothing to worry about."
Zhong Yousheng was indeed still thinking about acting, but he didn't expect Jiang Linfeng to mention this on his own initiative, which gave him a particularly reassuring feeling.
As expected, as long as Jiang Linfeng and Jiang Rangzhi are around, there is nothing to be afraid of!
Jiang Rangzhi was also very surprised by Jiang Linfeng's remarks just now. He nodded and didn't say much.
The luxury car quickly drove to Orphanage No. 2. Just as they had expected, there were already staff waiting at the orphanage door, and Shen Linglan was also outside.
Seeing Jiang Linfeng get out of the car first from the passenger seat, she greeted him with a smile, "Oh, just now someone told me that everyone from the Third Kindergarten would be coming to our place. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect you to actually come. Welcome, welcome!"
"I'm Shen Linglan, the director of the No. 2 Sunflower Orphanage. I heard that this time you mainly want to sign a volunteer cooperation agreement with our orphanage, right?" Shen Linglan looked at Jiang Linfeng with a kind smile.
There was nothing wrong, and the staff members behind seemed particularly happy. Especially since such a luxury car drove to the orphanage, it meant that the person who came to discuss cooperation was a rich person. Even if he was not here to provide funding this time, as long as he could get familiar with the other party, he could definitely discuss investment cooperation later.
After all, the Third Kindergarten is thriving thanks to the He family's investment.
"Hello, Dean Shen. If you have any questions about volunteer cooperation, please contact me. I am Yang Fan, the assistant to President Jiang." Seeing Shen Linglan's enthusiastic attitude towards Jiang Linfeng, Yang Fan greeted her with a smile and shook hands with her on behalf of his boss.
Seeing this, Shen Linglan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chi Nian and the other two who got out of the car in the back seat with an even deeper smile.
When she saw Zhong Yousheng, her pupils flickered, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Let me take you to the dean's office first. It's not a good way to treat guests to talk about cooperation outside." Shen Linglan turned her gaze back to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan nodded and walked in front of Jiang Linfeng, looking more like a boss than Jiang Linfeng.
The few employees who were originally staring at Jiang Linfeng were a little disappointed. Obviously, they had guessed the purpose of Jiang Linfeng's visit. Rich people came to the orphanage mostly to get the title of philanthropist, but most people just donated money directly. There were very few rich people like Jiang Linfeng who did not invest money but participated in volunteer activities.
But it's quite normal to think about it. After all, those who have watched the live broadcast know that the other party is probably just a son-in-law of a rich family's daughter. Now it seems that his say is not as good as that of an assistant. It is estimated that he doesn't have much money, so he can only rely on his own labor to gain a good reputation.
Although it's a pity, there's nothing we can do about it.
On the way to the dean's office, Shen Linglan and Chi Nian greeted the other two. None of them said much and handed the performance rights to Jiang Linfeng.
Jiang Linfeng and Yang Fan did not disappoint them. As soon as they sat in the dean's office, they started to sing in unison.
"Dean Shen, President Jiang and I came here mainly because we heard that Teacher Chi Nian grew up here. He came to visit you last Sunday and wanted to come here as a volunteer."
"When we learned about this, we really thought it was a coincidence. Frankly speaking, Mr. Jiang's status in the He family is not very high, and we have been trying to find ways to gain the recognition of the He family. You also know that Mr. Jiang's children like Teacher Chi Nian very much. If we can help him and gain Mr. Jiang's recognition through charity, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone. What do you think?"
Shen Linglan didn't expect Jiang Linfeng and his assistant to be so straightforward, but rich people are indeed like this. They do everything with a strong sense of selfishness and even want to beautify their behavior.
She had seen a lot of this kind of thing, and originally doubted the purpose of this group of people coming, but now it seems that this son-in-law of the He family can't wait to gain the recognition of the He family, and Chi Nian is just a chess piece on the chessboard.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Assistant Yang, what you said makes sense. However, for the No. 2 Orphanage, having your volunteers assist will also benefit the children there. So this isn't just killing two birds with one stone, but three birds with one stone."
Hearing what Shen Linglan said, Yang Fan smiled and nodded.
Jiang Linfeng finally spoke at this time: "It seems that Dean Shen is also a smart person. I don't understand the main procedures of the charity event, so I came here with everyone from the Third Kindergarten. If you have any questions in the future, you can directly contact everyone from the Third Kindergarten. I am usually too busy and probably won't be here often."
Everyone: “…”
Doesn’t this sentence mean that one doesn’t want to do anything but wants to take all the good reputation for oneself?
Everyone who knew the truth thought that Jiang Linfeng's words were shameless enough, not to mention Shen Linglan who was deceived.
Chi Nian saw that the smile on Shen Linglan's face was almost unbearable. It was probably the first time he had seen such a shameless person. He was indeed a Phoenix man who relied on women.
After a long while, Shen Linglan finally tried to ask, "So is this volunteer agreement signed with you, or with...?"
"Haha, Dean Shen, you're joking. This agreement is naturally signed with our President Jiang. We have also communicated with the Third Kindergarten. They are here to help us voluntarily. If President Jiang can successfully gain a foothold in the He family this time, we will not only make a large investment in the Third Kindergarten, but also provide investment support to the No. 2 Orphanage." Yang Fan laughed.
Shen Linglan: “…”
It was exactly what she thought.
She looked at Jiang Rangzhi, laughed dryly and said, "If I remember correctly, you are the principal of the Third Kindergarten, right? Your family background is also very powerful, so why is it..."
Shen Linglan didn't finish her words, but everyone knew what she meant. Jiang Rangzhi also explained: "Although I am willing to spend money on the cubs of the third kindergarten, who would complain about too much money? What's more, Nian Nian originally wanted to do volunteer activities. If President Jiang didn't find us, we also planned to come and talk to you on the weekend."
This was true, so Chi Nian and Zhong Yousheng also nodded.
"Dean Shen, do you have any concerns? Or do you think I'm shameless?" Jiang Linfeng took a sip of water, crossed his legs elegantly, frowned and looked at Shen Linglan.
It was another shocking statement, but Shen Linglan gradually got used to the words spoken by this shameless man.
She quickly said, "That's not the case, Mr. Jiang. Thank you very much for paying so much attention to Sunflower Orphanage No. 2. We haven't received any attention here for a long time, so I'm a little flattered."
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Rangzhi and Chi Nian with some surprise. The two of them were sitting together and looked very close.
And if she heard correctly just now, Jiang Rangzhi called Chi Nian "Niannian", which was too intimate. Although she also knew that some people in the live broadcast room paid close attention to Jiang Rangzhi and Chi Nian, she never thought that there would really be something between these two same-sex orcs of different species, not to mention that Chi Nian was an orc who failed to transform.
A carnivorous beastman like Jiang Rangzhi had never cared so much about anyone other than Chi Nian. Could it be that the two of them were really...
Moreover, Chi Nian's ears were twitching all the time, and she seemed to have a good impression of Jiang Rangzhi. As one of the "mothers" who raised Chi Nian, she felt that she understood Chi Nian.
If these two people really like each other but haven't said it out loud yet, then she can rest assured. Jiang Rangzhi just said that if it weren't for Jiang Linfeng, he would also come to visit on the weekend, most likely to please Chi Nian.
If this is true, then they can legitimately contact the girl named Zhong Yousheng. The other party's identity needs to be confirmed, which provides convenience for them.
None of them knew that Shen Linglan had lowered her guard against them because Jiang Rangzhi blurted out the word "Nian Nian".
Jiang Linfeng continued, "President Shen, the Third Kindergarten will not let you down. This time, we've specially invited the new teacher, Ms. Zhong Yousheng, to come. I don't know if you know her, but she has a great musical talent and can compose children's songs. She can bring a lot of joy to the children in the orphanage."
Shen Linglan looked at Zhong Yousheng. Zhong Yousheng knew it was her turn to perform, so she happily stood up and said, "Hello, Dean Shen. I'm Zhong Yousheng, the new teacher at the Third Kindergarten, and I'm an Ant Orc! I heard from Nian Nian that some of the orcs in the orphanage who failed to transform have low self-esteem. I want to use my experience to show them that even the weak can have a good life!"
After hearing what Zhong Yousheng said, Shen Linglan paid attention to the expressions of the others. No one seemed to doubt Zhong Yousheng's identity.
That means if Zhong Yousheng is really a human, then his identity has not been revealed yet.
This made her feel relieved, and she smiled and said, "I know you. The staff in our hospital noticed you last week. If you like, you can come here more often and talk to the children about yourself."
"Of course I would!" Zhong Yousheng said excitedly, "I especially like children. Lele and Niannian told me that the children here are very lonely. If I can make them happy, I will definitely participate in more volunteer activities!"
"Besides, doing this can also help us get Mr. Jiang's investment for the Third Kindergarten, which is really motivating!"
Seeing Zhong Yousheng's happy look, Shen Linglan was relieved this time.
If the other person was truly human and their identity was discovered, how could they possibly smile? They would probably be terrified every day.
Thinking of this, Shen Linglan smiled and looked at Chi Nian, saying, "This time, we were able to get the support of President Jiang and the Third Kindergarten thanks to Xiao Chi. Thank you for not forgetting to take care of us even after leaving the orphanage. Assistant Yang, you should have drawn up the agreement, right?"
Seeing Shen Linglan looking at him, Yang Fan calmly took out two contracts from his briefcase.
"Of course, Dean Shen, Director Jiang has already signed a contract with us. This one is for Orphanage No. 2. You can take a look. The cooperation period is one year. If we can change the He family's opinion of Director Jiang within one year, we will invest 50 million beast coins in both Kindergarten No. 3 and Orphanage No. 2."
Shen Linglan: “…”
No wonder an orc like Jiang Rangzhi was so obedient and willing to help Jiang Linfeng. The investment amount was too huge. The staff of the orphanage should also have great motivation to help Jiang Linfeng gain the recognition of the He family.
In short, this is a good thing for all three parties.
Shen Linglan read the contents of the contract carefully, and quickly asked her subordinates to bring the official seal and sign their names.
Seeing this, Jiang Linfeng finally stood up with a smile and extended his hand to Shen Linglan: “Dean Shen, it’s a pleasure to cooperate with you.”
Shen Linglan: “…”
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
She didn't show it on her face. She smiled and shook hands with Jiang Linfeng before she sighed again - what a shameless Phoenix man.
